Wild card
The word processor can be operated in either 20, 40, or 80 column mode. The screen is divided into two distinct areas. The top two lines display such useful information as the number of characters free, the caps lock status, insert or overwrite mode, etc. The word processor is literally overflowing with excellent features. One of these which deserves a mention is the mailmerging facility. This allows the program to pull data from a database file and insert it into a document. The database is very easy to use yet extremely powerful. Each record can contain up to 20 fields of differing lengths and data types, eg, alpha, integer, decimal, etc. Having input all of your valuable data it can then be saved to tape or disc. A search facility, allowing the use of wild cards, will mark any records found which meet the search criteria. The spreadsheet program is the next little gem. When using the maximum column width of 18 characters you can set up a 20x40 spreadsheet and still have memory to spare. This should be more than sufficient for most applications. The spreadsheet contains all the features of its expensive counterparts, eg, cell duplication, auto recalculate, automatic cursor movement. Having used Mini Office for the past few days I cannot praise it too highly.
